V13 - black frames in mxf render

Mindmatter wrote on 11/6/2014, 4:36 AM

Hi all,
running V13 , I rendered a 20 min AVCHD ( 1080p at 25fps) from my DSLR yesterday, straight to mxf, same settings. There's a cpouple of black frames in the beginning and in the middle of the rendered file. I remember reading about this here some time ago - is there any solution in sight?
Thanks.

The usual advice is to render again, but with ALL GPU settings (i.e., both in the Options dialog and also the Render As dialog) turned off.

Thank you johmeyer. I usually render without GPU, but will turn the other setting off as well.

And restart Vegas right before you render, doing as little as possible on the timeline.

You are running a GTX570 and shouldn't have any issues with it. Which driver are you currently on?

ALMOST RELATED... I was viewing some clips the other day, and there were single black frames in it. I toggled frame to frame for a while to see if it was always in the same place, and they were, so I assumed the camera had glitched the file maybe.

Shortly later, I was reviewing again (maybe closed and opened Vegas? I forget) and it was just fine.

I'm using the very latest Nvidia drivers, and usually have all GPU stuff off

I have changed to 334.89 with my OpenCL memory tweak and that has been running very well. Only yesterday did I switch to 344.60 and so for so good. It is actually a fraction faster. I still use my tweak with this driver.
